Ever since the key message,     1     is “Never forget why you started”, was put forward last year, it has been widely accepted in China. To be frank, the same message     2     (apply) to everyone’s life.

Ambitions, meaning things you want to achieve very much, play     3     important role in our daily life. When I was a student, my father told me that his ambition since his childhood was to be a translator. He wanted to work inside big buildings as a white-collar worker. With this strong ambition in mind, he was determined     4    (work) hard at every subject,     5     (particular) English, and as a result, he     6     (admit) to the best university in his province. Afterwards, he came to Shanghai for a job. There was one thing he regretted; he didn’t get a job as a translator but became a teacher instead. This story gave birth to my ambition and it “told” me to realize this dream.

With time     7    (go) by, some people forget their ambitions. How can you keep your ambitions alive? First of all, writing down your ambition is a good way to remind you. Second, take action to stay closer to your ambition. For example, I have to memorize English words to     8     (large) my vocabulary. I also try to speak English as much as I can so that I can communicate with     9     (foreign) freely.

“Never forget why you started” is the key     10     your success. If you find your ambition, catch it quickly, protect it and keep it in your heart.

It was my first class as a new teacher. A little girl,     1     looked very shy, was standing at the gate of the classroom.

I walked up to her and asked what was wrong with her,     2     she said nothing. Then a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four and is the     3    (bad) student in her grade.” I understood why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three.     4    (take) her hand, I led the girl into the classroom.

I later learned that her parents died     5    (accidental). She became sad and didn’t like talking to others after that. She learned very slowly, but I gave her respect and never looked down upon her. I helped her after school, and she was making progress little by little.     6     time went by, she was not as shy as before. When she left school, she seemed to have forgotten all her     7    (sad).

In the following     8    (year), she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day. Three days ago, I received an     9    (invite) to her wedding. And now, I am at her wedding, and she is smiling brightly.

Actually, everyone     10    (deserve) respect and everyone can be happy.

A motto (格言) is a sentence or a phrase    1    can inspire us especially when we     2     (face) with difficulties.

Many of us have our mottoes, such as “Where there is a will, there    3     (be) a way. ” or “Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. ” My motto is “God helps those who help    4    (them). ” Sometimes I am lazy and don’t want to make efforts     5    (work) hard, but the moment I think of my motto I will be     6     (energy) again and devote myself     7     what I am doing. I write my motto where I can see it     8     (effortless). Every time I fail in my exam and begin to lose heart, the sight of my motto inspires me with much     9    (confident). My motto also makes me become an independent person. That is to say, I won’t rely on others before I have     10     try.

My friend, what is your motto? If you still haven’t got a motto, please choose one, because a motto can have a great effect on you.
